    Norman Watt Roy - what a bass player. The most melodic bassist I've heard. RIP Wilko - thanks for some great music.

    My Son has met Wilko many times since he was four. He’s 16 now and a quality guitarist due to Wilko,s influence. Cheers Wilko and thanks for signing Mikeys Telecaster. RIP.

    Wilko always raises a smile .........I remember an interview years ago where he was asked what pedals he uses to which he replied " pedals? I'm a guitarist not a fucking cyclist!" ........:-)

    Saw them in London a few years ago supporting The Frantic Four Quo line up - what an awesome evening- both great players - and we were lucky enough to have dinner after the gig at the next table in the kebab shop to Norman and his friends after the show - a great musician and a genuinely nice guy - we left him alone through dinner, he saw we spotted him and didn't hassle him, he chose to have a chat as we all left at the kebab shop at same time. As musicians in a band ourselves we had the classic "We're not worthy" moment.
